Stanley Jordan’s First Original Composition in 14 Years

Written By Mike Greenblatt
Stanley Jordan

Back in June, we told you about Princeton Jazz Guitarist Stanley Jordan’s Feather In The Wind album, due this fall, and its first single, “Meditation,” a duet with retired Brazilian legend Milton Nascimento. Jordan, who pioneered a style of guitar punctuated with his patented touch-tapping technique, will release the second single from the upcoming album this Friday, August 28, “Flight Of The Eagle,” his first original in 14 years.
